Intracellular in a sentence

Health officials said that leprosy is a chronic infection of the skin and peripheral nerves caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium, mycobacterium leprae, also known as “Hansen’s Bacillus”.

Haitao Liu et al, Heart-on-a-Chip Model with Integrated Extra- and Intracellular Bioelectronics for Monitoring Cardiac Electrophysiology under Acute Hypoxia, DOI: 10.1021/acs.

His recent work has focused on intracellular pathogenic bacteria and host cell interactions, and in 2015 he won the Max-von-Pettenkofer Prize — an award given every two years for advancement in pathogen science.

Both of these tests are indirect measures of cell viability: XTT measures cells’ ability to break down tetrazolium, a key step in cellular metabolism, and CTG measures intracellular levels of ATP, molecules that cells use to store energy.

In response, rice plants have evolved genes encoding nucleotide binding-leucine-rich repeat proteins, or NLRs, which are intracellular immune receptors that bait specific fungal effectors.

We further deduced the protein functions by the assays of translation efficiency, RNA folding and intracellular localizations.

About 80% of intracellular thiamine is phosphorylated and most is bound to proteins.

Acids that lose a proton at the intracellular pH will exist in their soluble, charged form and are thus able to diffuse through the cytosol to their target.

Additionally, as the cells shrink, the solutes inside the cells are concentrated in the remaining water, increasing the intracellular ionic strength and interfering with the organization of the proteins and other organized intercellular structures.

After the intracellular signal that resulted from the binding of insulin to its receptor has been produced, termination of signaling is then needed.

All known higher lifeforms require a subtle and complex electrolyte balance between the intracellular and extracellular environments.

By increasing intracellular calcium as described below, cardiac glycosides increase calcium-induced calcium release and thus contraction.

Cardiac glycosides inhibit this pump by stabilizing it in the E2-P transition state, so that sodium cannot be extruded: intracellular sodium concentration therefore increases.

Classical SH3 domains are restricted in humans to intracellular proteins, although the small human MIA family of extracellular proteins also contain a domain with an SH3-like fold.

Difference of gradient sensing in prokaryotes and eukaryotes Levels of receptors, intracellular signalling pathways and the effector mechanisms all represent diverse, eukaryotic-type components.

During tip growth, cell walls are extended by the external assembly and polymerization of cell wall components, and the internal production of new cell membrane. citation The spitzenkörper is an intracellular organelle associated with tip growth.

Fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy are used to detect fluorescent signals with good intracellular detail.

For microbes like these, multiple intracellular survival mechanisms exist.

Glucagon A hormone that raises the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood by forcing the liver to release some of its intracellular stores of glucose.

If the intracellular pH changes to 5 or lower, the anaerobic fermentation of glucose through phosphofructokinase is decreased by 95%.
